Minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery for your health The development of minimally invasive surgical techniques and applications have made spine surgery safer, less traumatic and with faster post-operative recovery, which is favored by the majority of doctors and patients. The Department of Orthopedic Spine (Orthopedic East) of the First Hospital of Jinan University has been the first to carry out minimally invasive spine surgery including discoscopy (MED, 1999) and percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP, 2005) in South China since 1999, and hundreds of patients have been treated in our hospital with good results. Discoscopic disc removal (MED) MED is one of the more advanced minimally invasive spinal surgical procedures available internationally. The system combines advanced technology and clinical perfection to provide patients with a treatment method that is less invasive, shorter in duration, safe and reliable. It removes the herniated discs, hypertrophic ligamentum flavum and hyperplastic synapses, thereby freeing the compressed nerve roots or spinal cord and achieving a radical cure. Advantages of intervertebral discoscopy: 1.
